Okay! First post here :)
I want to lose weight....as quick as I can. I went to the gym but then I stopped and I think i'm starting to gain again.
I need advice/tips on what I should do for exercise, my diet, how often I should eat, etc. |
To begin with what are your exercise and eating habits? Keep in mind you should be losing more than 2lbs MAXIMUM a week so I don't know what you mean by quick. |

It's sort of a sick feeling of good, it makes you feel like you've accomplished something but you are hurting all at the same time. I like it. What's really sore is my chest...well and obliques. I'm gonna feel gimpy today but at least I should be good by Friday :D |

lol why is it a sick feeling of good? perhaps i'm the wrong person to talk about enjoying painful things..i'm not sadistic or masochistic or anything, but something like getting a tattoo i really like that pain, it's actually quite the aphrodesiac to me. same goes for soreness, especially my shoulders when it feels like there is a huge weight on my shoulders and when someone taps you on the arm its sore...heh
so in more news, my gym just bought a whole bunch of new balance balls, and i found my favorite! it's a peanut shaped stability ball, its so easy to do ALL of my ab work outs on it. obliques, crunches, and knee pulls...don't have to worry about wobbling even though i never had that problem with the regular balance ball. |

Yeah, I know. I'm just an idiot. I finally am up to 135 on the bench (I weigh 115 so that's pretty good for me I believe) and I wanna maintain. But I think I need to take at least a week off. |
You can get away with taking a week off and not lose any strength. You might even come back stronger than before. Rest that arm Mr. Promo. |

Eat small balanced meals often (every 3 hours), eat mostly raw veggies/fruits and lean meats and a lil bit of fat is actually a good thing. You should think about eating in terms of survival, not in terms of enjoyment.
Do cardio early in the day on an empty stomach if possible.
Eat most of your calories early in the day if possible and try to stay away from lots of calories later in the evening.
Lift weights and don't say that you worry about getting 'too big' or I'll slap you.
Ok those are the basics. There's ALOT more to it than that but until I see you posting in here regularly, I'm going to withhold info. :) |

| Getting back in to the thick of things this month. I took a month off 'cuz I was away for vacation. I'm buying myself some N.O.Xplode today. Did back and biceps on monday, today im doing chest and shoulder, friday abs, legs. Right now just focusing on getting my muscles back in shape. Ill carry this low weight, medium rep routine for about 2 or 3 weeks, then i'll start hitting the gym hard again. I am 205lbs right now, I'm planning to get down to about 190 by december. Good to see a lot of people staying in shape. |

Any ideas people?
| quote: | Need some help..
I have...
1. Bench press.
2. Bar.
3. Several weights 5-10-20lbs.
4. A EZ-bar that can have weights too.
I need a workout routine. I've got protein shakes in the fridge. I just need a routine. ANybody wanna help a newbie kick some ass?
I am 5'7", 140lbs.
I have the munchies all the time.
I want upper body definition and a greater muscular build. I want to be able to take my shirt off, and without flexing have my abs and pecs clearly visible. I'm looking at a time horizon of 6 months maybe? If all goes well, I may never stop the routine. |

We have jobs :p lemme get home first.
Also ive been laid out with the flu for a week so havent been thinking much.
Ill get you a response soon.
also you said you had 10/20 lb plates. how many of each. What is the maximum weight you can create with your setup? How much does each bar weigh? Is your bench adjustable? |

chest
Well first start off with flat and incline bench. that'll hit up you're chest. you can also do close grip bench but be sure to put on clamps at the end of your bench bar so the weights don't slide off...you can also use your ez curl bar for this exercise since it's not as wide and easier to balance.
back
take the bench bar off the bench lay it on the floor, add your weights on the side so its standing on the floor, feet shoulder width apart, stand infront bent over at almost a 90 degree angle...be sure to keep your back straight and knees semi bent. grab the bar and pull up into your chest, that should hit your back - you can also do this with your ez curl bar as well.
shoulders
military press! you can do this sitting in a chair or something that will keep your back flat up against. and well it is what it is, military press. you sit and press the weight over your head, as you bring the weight down to your chin/mouth area press up again. some press behind their head, i'm not much of a fan lowering behind my head then pressing up but it does target much better.
triceps
lay on your bench with your ez curl bar, hold the bar about your face like in bench position, keep your elbows at 90 degrees and lower the bar behind your head, extend back up, that should hit your triceps.
biceps
ez bar curls, bench bar/flat bar curls, reverse ez bar curls (hand grip on top versus on the bottom like a normal barbell curl)
abs
there's too many for you to do all done without weights and on flat surfaces. |
